Summary

How would your travels be different if you set aside expectations and surrendered to the journey? After realizing that much of Roberta’s pain came from unmet expectations, she decided to experiment with a new life approach that involved planning nothing and letting go of any attachment to how things turned out. In this episode, author and coach Roberta Mussato and I unpack the lessons she learned when she decided to trust the universe during her three-month adventure through Sri Lanka, South India, and Nepal. You’ll learn why she adapted this new life philosophy, how the mindset of a traveler lays the entire foundation for a trip, why you need to live in trust, and how we can find the balance between our philosophies and the necessities of the real world. You’ll also gain insight into solo travel in Asia, the process she took to write her book, and much more! What new life philosophy or mentality can you experiment with on your travels? I'd love to hear your thoughts and hope you’ll share them by sending me an audio message.

0:00.0	And so I decided to use those three months to make an experiment. As you said, if all my pain
0:06.1	comes from unmeted expectations, let's see how life can be when you don't have any. So I'm
0:11.1	not going to plan anything, which means that we'll not have any attachment to how things will
0:15.4	develop because I haven't really thought I would like things to happen in a specific way.
0:20.6	Let's start from the assumption
0:21.8	that how things happen is the best and only possible way. And let's see what happens. I was like,
0:28.9	okay, universe, I trust you. Use me to make situations happen. Make me meet the people that you think
0:36.6	should be useful for my growth or for
0:39.6	whatever, or who are the best ones that I need to meet in this moment. So, you know, it's just
0:45.3	starting from a completely different framework. That was Roberta Musato, who is today's guest,
0:51.7	talking about the approach he took to her three-month trip through Sri Lanka,
0:55.3	South India, and Nepal. And really, this was a whole new approach to life for her at the time
1:00.5	she was feeling sad, lonely, stuck, misunderstood by friends. And she felt her life was far from her
1:07.0	expectations. And one of her core philosophies is that our pain comes from unmet expectations
1:12.3	and she wondered what life would be like if she planned nothing and surrendered to any attachment
1:19.2	to how things turn out. And today you're going to hear how that turned out for her. And of course,
1:25.3	we'll unpack the many lessons learned along the way
1:27.8	that you can consider and perhaps apply to your own life and travel. So let's get into it.
1:34.2	Shall we? Buckle up, strap in. Thanks for being here. And welcome to the Zero to Travel
1:38.5	Podcast, my friend.
1:49.4	You're listening to the Zero to Travel podcast where we explore exciting travel-based work,
1:54.2	lifestyle and business opportunities, helping you to achieve your wildest travel dreams.
